I'd give damned near anything for a bunch of fresh sour cherries or
gooseberries or red or black currants. Nothing like that seems to be
availble in Central AZ. The canned cherries and gooseberries run ~$3 per
can and a decent pie requires at least 3 cans. The quality of the canned
fruit isn't worth the time spent making a good pastry. Years ago I used to
be to at least able to find frozen sour cherries and they were pretty good.
Haven't seen them for sale in years.
